November 1 News Recently, Rockets star Durant was a guest on beauty blogger Bobbi Althoff's podcast "NOTTHISAGAIN", during which he talked about interesting things about his mother and himself.
"When I was younger, I considered quitting basketball training because I was feeling more pressure than I had ever felt before. When I told my mom about my decision, she worked with the coaches to orchestrate an intervention that made me feel like I was committing a crime. Teaching I was told that if I didn’t continue playing basketball, I would have to learn ballet or I would no longer be able to go to the gym and activity center. I was very angry and felt that they didn’t understand my feelings at all. At the age of 11, I was tired of everyone telling me what to do. I was like a robot, being asked to do this and that, without any sympathy or understanding. I was just a child, but I felt like my hobby was being killed. Later, I went to an activity center, but it was also a place where the coach could kick people out. My mother was still in cahoots with him, and she supported me no matter what he said. Of course, I later realized that I didn’t really want to give up basketball.
